Anyone who’s seen The Matrix has been exposed to Massive Attack in one of the most famous scenes from the movie:

In fact, I recall many songs from The Matrix being played nonstop back in my teenage gamer IRC days. Maybe even by others than just me

Or indeed the TV series House, albeit in the US.

Some people in Europe have Televisions, too.

The show 'House' has used three different opening tracks depending on territory and medium.

Massive Attack's Teardrop was used in the original US air (although as a Brit I've somehow heard all three on tv re-runs and Amazon Prime)

As a note, that version is a pre-release version that was used in the movie before the album released. The album version is different.

My Massive Attack is a bit rusty. What song is that?

Dissolved Girl from the album Mezzanine, though as another commenter mentioned elsewhere, a different version of the track is used in the film
